Title
Obesity and Insulin Resistance: An Abridged Molecular Correlation
Abstract
A relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes is now generally well accepted. This relationship represents several major health hazards including morbid obesity and cardiovascular complications worldwide. Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by impaired insulin release and insulin resistance. Lipids play an important physiological role in skeletal muscle, heart, liver and pancreas. Deregulation of fatty acid metabolism is the main culprit for developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. A predominant predisposing factor to developing obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is the permanent elevation of free fatty acids in plasma followed by impaired utilization of lipids by muscle. Diabetes-induced inflammation and oxidative stress have also vital role for development of insulin resistance in diabetic patients. The present review is intended to describe the correlation between lipids, obesity and insulin resistance based on current literature, in order to elucidate involved molecular mechanisms in depth.

Biomarker Insights Paper Endorsed by Editor in ChiefWed 07 Oct, 2015
Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesI have published more than thirty research papers in internationally reputed high impact factor journals including Libertas Academica publications, Proteomics Insights and Analytical Chemistry Insights. I have no hesitation in saying that Proteomics Insights is highly efficient for its rapid and high quality review process and keeping the authors informed at each stage of the publication process. I recommend this journal for students, teachers and research workers who wish to publish their work. ...
